PRAISE FOR THIS COURSE
"The thorough review of MI and demonstrating the application with her work with clients was so helpful for me. I can see using the bridge directive with so many of my clients. Especially a couple who are having difficulty identifying where there are in life and the motivations for change."
- Clara Henderson
"I found learning about the Bridge Drawing Assessment and the presented client drawing examples to be most useful to me. Viewing her clinical examples of the bridges was good inspiration to use with clients."
- David Ruthers

Frequently Asked Questions
A reminder about self-study and continuing education:
In New York State, a self-study course can only equal 1/3 of the required contact hours for your license renewal. So, if your license renews in three years, you will require 36 continuing education contact hours, thus a maximum of 12 of those hours can be self-study. The rest of your contact hours must be live events.

PLEASE NOTE: While some subject areas overlap in education, a course that includes art therapy directives does not qualify a counselor to practice art therapy, and similarly an art therapist is not qualified to practice as a counselor, without proper licensing. This is a completely self-directed course. Your continuing education contact hours will be attributed on the date that you submit the webform for your certificate of completion.
